Following on from the how many.... [computers or mobiles] you have ive got a question

The Thinnest Ipod

Apple has unveiled the latest version of its iPod Nano, featuring what it says are the thinnest measurements yet.

The fourth generation Nano was launched at a US press conference by Apple chief Steve Jobs, who announced new shuffle and library features.

He also listed the Nano's environmental credentials, including arsenic-free glass and a mercury and PVC-free body that is "highly recyclable".

The Nanos are expected to sell in the UK for £109 ($191) for the 8GB version.

The 16GB version will retail at £149

How Many Ipods have you had? I had one of the old Shuffles that was like the size of a packet of chewing gum, then i got an old nano then i got one of the most recent nanos.

What exactly is the obsession with Apple over other mp3 player brands? Is it the white earphones?? lol

[Sam]

I've had my black 1st gen nano for years, got it a few months after they were released.

It has a few scratches but still works.

It's been to Canada twice too

[Emma]

I had the old shuffle that was like a packet of chewing gum, then a blue iPod mini, and now I have a white video iPod.

[Lucinda]

I don't know what the obsession is either.

I got an iPod shuffle with my bank account and it was crap, I gave it away.

I've had the same Sony mp3 player for over 3 years and I've dropped it loads of times and it's fine. It's only 1gig but it's enough for me. It has a screen with a backlight and it tells me what's playing, cost the same as the iPod Shuffle did at the time and the iPod Shuffle has no screen.

I have an i-pod mini (they were the second breed of I-pods to come out), it still works to this day but the battery life is shit, I don't really use it much.

[Hugh.]

I've had at least 5 iPods.. all Nanos - They kept breaking, fortunatly within the year's guarentee... This new video Nano seems to be better though

[FreakaZoid101]

I've had a big fat 0.

I have issues with Apple.

I did have an MP3 player before the iPod came out though.

I think they look the nicest out of all the mp3 players out there. But other than iPods I hate Apple. Way too over hyped in my opinion and their iPhones are crazily over priced for the measly features they have.

[Jono]

I have an iPod Nano and I've found it really good. I use it on the bus once a week and I've had no problem with it. I've not had it a year yet though, but it's been good to me so far.

[Lucinda]

I've had my Sony over 3 years and I use it every day and the best thing is, it has exactly the same battery life as it always has because it uses one AAA battery which lasts aaaaages and means no worries about charging it. Plus it is round so it bounces and fits nicely in my hand.

Ipods seem to break all the time and the batteries run down over time like phone batteries do.

Ipods seem to break all the time and the batteries run down over time like phone batteries do.

Any the batteries aren't removable so you've no choice but to send them back to Apple if the battery goes!

[kitty]

I like my iPod anano, had it for about 9 months with hardly any bother- although it would be good if it had an internal radio- I have the radio attachment but it uses a lot of battery and the cable is really long.

Before that I had a Sony, which was ok, but I found the software with it a bit rubbish! Part of the headphone socket broke just out of warranty, and I took it to the Sony Centre cos I have a mate that works there, and he said that even getting it fixed at cost price would cost nearly as much as a new MP3 player

[The Stig]

I love my I Pod Nano, Got the second gen one which is excellent. Never had a problem with it, batterly lasts ages, easy to use, light and I've used it loads in the nearly two years I've had it. That said I love the look of the I Pod Touch, I want one with video and its just amazing!

[Chris.]

I've had the first ever iPod Mini, the iPod 5th Gen, the iPod Touch 1st Gen and now I have an iPhone 3G.

As you can probably tell, I'm a big iPod fan. I've never had a problem with them!

[E*F*4L]

i have had just one Nano, i may get the new ipod touch at xmas

[Timsk]

I've never owned a single Apple product, I'm pleased to say... Generally overpriced for the actual features and quality, and their practice of 'locking you in' with their proprietary services is appalling.

[DJDrew]

One... Ipod shuffle, how random lol

[Jessica Lares]

I have a 3rd Generation 10 GB iPod, Black 20 GB Video iPod, and a 8 GB 1st Generation iPhone. The first one lasted me three years and then the battery started dying, so I bought the video one. Then, I wanted a phone, so I bought the iPhone.

I have a 1 GB Sansa Express aswell, it can record radio programs and voice. I love it!

[The Stig]

I forgot I had the first Shuffle as well but as soon as I had more than 70 songs it got really annoying if you wanted to play a specific song.

[aloha_chicka]

An ipod shuffle (the chewing gum one), but that stopped working and got annoying, so I've now got an ipod nano, 2nd generation, which I use every day. I've had for about 2 years now.

[Ezza]

I have a white 30GB iPod, and I love it.

[FortuneCookie]

Ipods are evil.

6gb Creative Zen which has lasted two and a half years, countless dropping and still has storage space is better.

[MissCorsham]

I haven't had an Ipod mini, I've had a 30GB Creative Zen Vision:M, which was brilliant until I noticed it was near warrenty and decided to create a problem with it and get it swapped for a new 80GB Black Ipod Classic, which is a beautiful piece of technology.

[superchris0110]

I've had my black 1st gen nano for years, got it a few months after they were released.

Haha and what are you implying about our North American friends across the pond:P

On topic I have had 2 ipods, my first one still works, but I wanted one that could play videos for my train trips to keep me entertained when the train gets majorly delayed. Hasn't gone wrong yet... touches wood

[DaNNiP15]

I have never had an ipod and i cope perfectly well with my normal mp3 player so i am not going to fork out for an ipod haha
